THE SEA ROSE
Rosemary is one of the main teaching plants in my version of the pantheon. It is clearing, cleansing and at the same time warming and tolerant. It will work with you wherever you are in your process of healing and expansion, coaching you along the way. Rosemary clears both the body and the mind, and no doubt the psychic field as well. If you are drawn to Rosemary, it may be time to detox and refresh your body and mind, or consider a new perspective in an area of your life.
THE FACTS
Rosemary is steam distilled from the stems and needles, often year round. The plant has been used for thousands of years as a garland or crown, as well as at different rites of passage such as weddings and funerals. Its name comes from Latin and means, "Sea Dew", but it was also known in the ancient world as "Sea Rose", due to its love of sandy soil and proximity to the sea.
Clinically speaking, Rosemary is a stimulating oil, especially to the respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems, and slightly analgesic. I use it in my practice in blends for my more sporty clients as well as those who've struggled with respiratory complaints all winter and need a clearing boost - to their mood as well.
DRIVING ENERGY
The driving energy of Rosemary is, "motivating". It motivates us to clean up and detox our bodies, minds and spirits, encouraging us all the way to the finish line. I find that people who are attracted to Rosemary are often the types that do well with order and organisation but may have lost that after an illness, loss or major life change such as motherhood or retirement. Rosemary has a way of helping these people get back to their core and revamp. Rosemary also has a special affinity for mothers.
MYTH AND ARCHETYPE
Rosemary is associated with Aphrodite as well as faeries in general. It is also connected with the goddess Artemis, likely due to her powers of intellect and to the god Apollo for its healing properties. Archetypally speaking, Rosemary is both the "Teacher" and "Mentor". Its spirit is for those who are ready to move past their challenge by learning how they got it in the first place, embrace found wisdom and evolve forward.
